|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glial Cells | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | An autoimmune disorder that destroys the myelin sheath and is caused by a malfunctioning immune system.
Symptoms include: impaired vision, pain, fatigue, slurred speech, impaired coordination, and tremors
🗑
|
||||
| show | Increase the likelihood of an action potential
🗑
|
||||
| show | Decreases likelihood of an action potential
🗑
|
||||
| show | Electrical Impulse that is responsible for the release of a neurotransmitter into the synapse
🗑
|
||||
| Dopamine | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Associated with Parkinson's, Huntington's, Tourette's, ADHD, MDD, and Schizophrenia
🗑
|
||||
| show | Positive symptoms are associated with Dopamine HYPERactivity in subcortical regions
Negative symptoms are associated with Dopamine HYPOactivity in cortical regions, notably, the prefrontal cortex
🗑
|
||||
| show | Involved in control of skeletal muscles, regulation of smooth and cardiac muscles, arousal, attention, memory
🗑
|
||||
| Low levels of Ach | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Major excitatory neurotransmitter; involved in movement, emotions, learning, and memory. Glutamate is involved in long-term potentiation, which is necessary for long term memory.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Neuronal damage associated with seizures, TBI, Huntington's and Alzheimer's
🗑
|
||||
| Norepinephrine | show 🗑

||||

||||
| show | Autism, Schizophrenia, food restriction in Anorexia
🗑
|
||||
| GABA | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Anxiety, mania, insomnia, seizures, Parkinson's and Huntington's
Benzo's reduce anxiety and induce sleepiness by enhancing the effects of GABA
🗑
|
||||
| Endorphins | show 🗑
|
||||
| Agonists | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Produce effects that are similar to (but weaker) the neurotransmitter at the receptors EX: Buspirone is a partial agonists for 5-HT and is used to treat anxiety
🗑
|
||||
| Inverse agonists | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Produce no effects on their own and block or reduce the effects of a neutransmitter or agonist at receptors. EX: Antipsychotics that block DA receptors are antagonists, such as Haloperidol
🗑
